Until the late '90s, this footstool could be found in every home from Shkodër to Gjirokastër. We found this one in a Tirana apartment, still carrying the smell of our grandparents' house. Naphthalene, wood, something sweet. It has held quiet afternoons, reunions, Sundays that stretched past dinner and into the dark. The original springs still work. We just gave it something to celebrate.
